Germany is set to have a new chancellor, Friedrich Merz, from the conservative Christian Democrat party (CDU). Merz will now look to form a coalition government.

The leader-in-waiting has made striking remarks in a post-victory speech, saying Donald Trump is indifferent to Europe's fate, putting the US president's America on a par with Russia.

What does Merz's tone mean for Europe? Niall Paterson is joined by our Europe correspondent Adam Parsons to discuss how the Merz-Trump relationship could work.
